Marry Me In Indy! LLC is Open for Business!

I’m currently offering my $50 Quickie Civil Ceremony in my office on Monument Circle.  

My $50 Quickie is a legal wedding service to complete your marriage license.  This is not a formal wedding ceremony. We will sign your marriage license and you will give your verbal legal consent to the marriage.  “Do you take This Person to be your spouse?”  “I do!” “I now pronounce you married.”  You are welcome to exchange your own rings and exchange your own vows.  

The $80 Budget Elopement on Monument Circle will be available as soon as the Stay At Home order in Marion County is lifted. I am aiming to start this on Monday, May 18th.  Because this takes place outside, you many have as many guests as allowed per the phase Marion County is in.  On the 18th, that should be up to 25 people total - including me.  ​

$150 Elopements are now available in counties that are currently in phase 2 or higher ​

I am able to sign your marriage license in order to legally marry you as an ordained minister.  Per the Governor’s Executive order, I’m able to offer this service during the stay at home order because it is a legal, professional service.  

As a business person, If I choose to operate, I need to do so responsibly and according to the Governor’s executive orders. In order to do this, these are the steps I’m taking to ensure the health and safety of everyone:

• You must make an appointment ahead of time.  I want to have your current, valid, contact information as part of this process should the need for contact tracing ever become necessary.  
• Please use THIS CONTACT FORM to provide your information to make an appointment.
• Please have a marriage license in your hands before making an appointment.  The Marion County Clerk is still closed. They are issuing marriage licenses via Video Chat appointments followed by mailing you the physical copy. The mailing process can take up to one week. Please contact YOUR COUNTY CLERK for details as to how they are issuing marriage licenses at this time.  
• If you are in Indiana resident with an Indiana marriage license you can be married anywhere in Indiana.  If you want to make the trip to Indy, I will marry you.  
• This appointment is JUST FOR THE TWO PEOPLE BEING MARRIED!  Indiana State marriage laws do not require witnesses. The Novel Coworking Building where my office is located on Monument Circle is currently closed to the public.  I will have to physically let you in the building. I will not let anyone other than the two people being married in the building. Novel Coworking is taking extra precautions cleaning and sanitizing the building.   I will be wiping down the tables and chairs between each appointment.
• You must pay in advance so no cash physically changes hands. 
• Social Distancing protocols will be observed at all times. 
• Please wear a mask.  I will be wearing one.  
• Please bring your own pen if you can.  ​
• You cannot book these appointments yourself online.  You will have to provide me with your contact information and I will book the appointment for you.  An email and text will be sent to confirm your appointment has been set. The confirmation will contain a link for you to follow to make a payment using either PayPal or a credit card.  Appointments are not guaranteed without payment.
• I will do my best to accommodate every couple and their work schedules.  Prices may be higher evenings and weekends.  This has always been my general practice.  My $50 Quickie Civil Ceremony is still the cheapest wedding in Indy.
• I reserve the right to deny service to anyone.
• If you are sick or showing symptoms PLEASE STAY HOME.

Price List for Marry Me In Indy! LLC 2020

Same Day Elopements and Full Formal Wedding Officiant Services  and everything in between available.

Simple Civil Ceremony Wedding Officiant Services

My Civil Ceremony services are held in a professional office setting. All services are performed in a private room; however the addition of music or a party atmosphere is inappropriate for these services due to the location.  The area is not set up with a pretty background for pictures.  I do have a “Just Married!” Sign for quick photos. I have many other options for those having a wedding.  ​

• ​​Civil Ceremonies meet the requirements of a legal marriage. 
• They are not a “wedding.”
• We sign your marriage license and you say a very simple "I do."
• Rings are not required to get married but you are welcome to exchange them. 
• A very simple civil or non-religious ceremony may be performed, if you choose.
• If you prefer a religious ceremony, please book one of my wedding ceremony options.

As always, it is my intention to continue to be available in my office downtown to perform simple, legal, civil ceremonies on days the Marion County Clerk is issuing marriage licences.  My ability to provide such a low cost service is based on the small size of my office.

Formal Wedding Ceremony Officiant Services

Civil Ceremonies and Budget Elopements have their limitations and they are priced that way.  My formal weddings are for when you want an actual wedding ceremony.  I allot more time for your ceremony and you have more ceremony script choices. ​

~~~~~~~~~~

$150 Elopement and Small Wedding Officiant Service

Click Here for www.ElopeIndiana.com

• This service is for smaller, less formal weddings.  This means you are not in a formal venue with a strict timeline. 
• ​I will perform any type of wedding ceremony of your choosing at any location of your choosing. 
• I am willing to travel up to one hour from my home in Fishers for the $150 price.  To figure out if your location is included put your location in your GPS and put zip code 46037 as the starting point.  If the regular drive time is 60 minutes or less, it’s included in the price. This is as far as Avon or Danville, Anderson, Muncie, Franklin, Greenwood, Greenfield, and much of Boone, Hendricks, Hancock, Johnson, Hamilton, Marion counties and more. 
• You are paying for 3 hours of my time.  I allot one hour for me to get to your location, one hour for you to get married, and one hour for me to get home. It does not take an hour to get married but I account for a late start if you or your guests are running late. 
• I generally like to arrive a few minutes early for your wedding. Because this is an informal wedding option, if the travel time to your location is exactly one hour I only guarantee to arrive on time or a little later if traffic is bad.  
• If I have to travel to your location during rush hour and it is already common knowledge that it’s going to take longer than an hour to get to your location you can either pay more for me to guarantee to arrive on time or early or be OK with me arriving late. 
• I reserve the right to require an extra payment to guarantee your appointment and you will be informed of that when you book your wedding.  If you book online I will respond immediately. 
• ​I have many pre-written ceremonies to choose from or you can create one of your own.

$450 Formal Wedding Ceremony Package

The perfect, personalized wedding officiant package for your formal wedding.  ​

• Two meetings are included.  These can be in person, over the phone, or video chat. 
• A personalized wedding ceremony.  This can mean something different for every couple.  You might love one of my prewritten ceremonies but just want a few changes and don't want to do it yourself - you might want me to do all the legwork for you with narrowing down your options.  I will put together a rough draft and then we will edit it until you love it. This could be creating a personalized unity ceremony or the entire ceremony.  
• The rehearsal.  You might need me to organize and run your rehearsal or just want me at the rehearsal.  If you have a wedding planner or your venue coordinator runs your rehearsal I will work with them. If you don't have a confirmed rehearsal time I will hold any possible time until you know.  Sometimes, your rehearsal might be on a Friday morning or even a Thursday.  
• I guarantee an arrival time 60 minutes before the scheduled start time and you have up to an hour past your scheduled start time to begin your ceremony.  Fingers crossed you never need these extra times for anything but you never know.  I block out 4 hours on my schedule for your wedding giving me time to get there early and not need to rush off anywhere...just in case. 
• I will file your marriage license for you.  You need to obtain your own marriage license but I will return it for you.  If you life in Marion or Hamilton County I will return your license in person, obtain 2 certified copies, and mail them to you within a week.  If you live in another county I will mail it to the issuing clerk by certified mail.  You can always return your marriage license yourself.  Generally, couples living in other counties will return their license themselves in person and obtain their own certified copies.​

The $50 Quickie Wedding - Fishers, IN

DUE TO COVID-19 AND THE NEED FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING, THIS OPTION IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE AT STARBUCKS.  I'M MEETING COUPLES AT HOLLAND PARK IN FISHERS.

​The $50 Quickie is my cheapest wedding.  It is the cheapest wedding officiant service in the Indianapolis area.   It is a very basic civil ceremony.  Bring your marriage license, we'll sign it, you'll say "I do" and that's it.  No witness are required so nobody even has to know.  I perform my Quickie at Starbucks in Fishers. (No coffee purchase is required)  I'm available by appointment on the weekend and after hours.  I'm generally in my office downtown from 10-4 on weekdays offering the same service. 

The $50 Quickie is cheap and easy if you have the right information:

• Bring your marriage license.  You pick this up yourselves from your county clerk.  If you are an Indiana resident you must pick the license up in the county you live in.  The license is good anywhere in Indiana. If you are from out of state, you much pick your marriage license up from the Hamilton County Clerk​  for this option.  Click here to learn how to get a marriage license. 
• We will meet at Starbucks in Fishers.  The address is 9001 East 116th Street Fisher, IN  46038. It’s the Starbucks next to AAA. Make sure you choose the right one on your GPS.   Click here to put the address in your Map app on your phone. 
• You both need to be present. Yes, this a very simple service without a big ceremony but you are signing a legal document and it's my job to watch both of you sign the marriage license in person.   ​
• No witnesses are required.  There is no place on the marriage license for witnesses to sign.  They are not legally required. If you do choose to bring people with you, this is still not a wedding ceremony.  I'm just there to sign your marriage and not to wait for others to arrive. 
• We will sign your marriage license and say "I do."   I will ask you if you take each other to be your partner in marriage  ie.. “Do you take ____ to be your wife/Husband.” “Do you take_____ to be your wife/husband”  Then I will pronounce you married! This all happens as we sit at a table.
• You must return your marriage license. Return your license to the county clerk that issued it within 30 day.  You can mail it or return it in person.  I suggest returning it in person. 
• Payment is due when you book.   If you call for a same day appointment you can pay cash.
• Appointments are only guaranteed when paid in full in advance. 
• $50 Quickie appointments can be refunded if canceled within 24 hours.  If you do not arrive for your pre-paid appointment on time, you forfeit your payment.  You can always make same day appointments and pay cash. We can always reschedule if needed up to 2 hours before your scheduled appointment.
